Do you know one of the toughest thing Dubai is getting school admission?

Yes, The time when parents become more worried and applying multiple schools and waiting for the call. Once you get the email you realizing they are doing the interview of kid who is 3.5 or 4 years old. But it is truth.

Dress and appearance

Give your kid a decent clothing, not the fancy dress or costumes. Formal is good and recommended. Dont give any toy on their hand on interviews. Also parents should wear the appropriate dressings. Remember the parent also they are taking interview without you knowing so your appearance also matters.

Reach 15 minutes early to avoid last minute stress.

Good morning, what is your name?

This will be the welcome tone for almost all KG interviews. So kid should be reply saying good morning and his or her name. So you should make them prepare to answer such questions right?

As they are kids they cannot learn all in one day. So you have to start early.

The basics

Teach them the letters A to Z

Count one to 10

Identify the animals

Identify the colors

Teach family members name, if they ask for father name he should not say Papa :).. he should say your original name so you have teach that

Important thing is your kid may say the all above things to you but you fear will they tell them during interview?

Your question is valid and you cannot get an answer until you finish the interview because most of the kids are shy around the strangers. But how can you identify your kid will open their mouth. Use a trick. Meet your friend or neighbour just one week before the interview and tell them to do a mock interview. Also offer something to your kid if they answer every thing on the mock interview he will get a nice chocolate or toy. Repeat the pattern. Bet me they will open mouth on interview if you did this practice well.
